Help P•Fat raise money for prostate cancer!

Hello Guys and Gals, We here at P•Fat have decided to join a global movement that is bringing much needed attention to prostate cancer. We're doing this by growing a Moustache this Movember, the month formerly known as November. Our commitment is to grow a moustache all November to change the face of men’s health and we want you to join us. The funds we raise during our Moustache journey go to Prostate Cancer Canada.

What many people don’t know is that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer to afflict Canadian men with 25,500 diagnosed and 4,400 dying from the disease each year. Facts like these have convinced us we should get involved. To join our Movember team called Team Pfat go to http://ca.movember.com/register/29345

Once registered you’ll be sent all the information needed to get donations and get growing as part of my Movember team.

Learn more about Movember by watching the Intro Video at http://ca.movember.comTo make a donation, you can either: • Click this link: movember.com/donate and donate to team pfat online using your credit card or PayPal account , or • Write a cheque payable to ‘Prostate Cancer Canada’, referencing my Registration Number 120919 and mailing it to: Prostate Cancer Canada, 145 Front Street East, Ste. 306, Toronto, ON M5A 1E3, Canada.

All donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. Prostate Cancer Canada will use the money raised by Movember for the development of programs related to awareness, public education, advocacy, support of those affected, and research into the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of prostate cancer.
